Cursive text: Hi, I'm Glenn

I help children, teenagers and adults to better understand how their mind works, so they can begin to let go of their old behaviors and emotions, and enjoy more freedom in their lives.

How did I get here?

About 15 years ago I started combining Specialised Therapy Techniques with Hypnosis to help clients with their fears and phobias, addictions, limiting beliefs and emotional blocks.

And then about 10 years ago, I met Felix Economakis (Chartered Psychologist) and flew to London to learn more about his intuitive therapy process of helping people with ARFID.

And at that moment I knew that I had found my passion!

Helping clients to let go of a lifetime of restrictive negative feelings around a food, person or event is emotionally rewarding work and life changing for clients.

To date, I have seen over 5,000 clients (2,500 with ARFID). I have been able to help the majority of my clients to better understand how their mind works, why they have their limiting beliefs, and then assist them to release or reduce their old unnessesary behaviors and emotions.

These therapy techniques are equally beneficial to clients with eating disorders and food challenges, phobias, and releasing unwanted negative emotions from past events.

What my clients say…

“I just wanted to thank you so much for the therapy session.

My whole lifestyle has changed already and I’ve been feeling so much more confident and happy with my relationship to food.

My social life and relationship have already improved as I don’t feel anxious to eat in front of people anymore, as well as being able to eat some of my previously most feared foods!

I can’t thank you enough for your expertise and guidance on ARFID.”

“My Son is 11 and was restricted to pretty much vegemite on toast, hot chips and sweet biscuits.

It had been lifelong and was the biggest stress in his and my life. As well as ARFID, my son also has a diagnosis of ADHD, ASD, hyper mobility and low tone. This session was life changing.

So amazingly life changing, I can’t even explain it in words.  He has tried 5 foods since his session - that he wanted to try!”

It’s been a week yesterday since we first went to see Glenn and I’m completely blown away.  

We have seen such a huge shift in my boy’s (10) mind and a massive reduction in anxiety around trying new foods.  

This kid who has been on less than 10 foods and drinks for much of his life is sticking new foods into his mouth, chewing and swallowing?!

Glenn’s fun facts!

Glenn's Australian bee FlowHive

Bees!

In my spare time, I am an Apiarist… a Beekeeper.

I am facinated by the ‘hive mind’.

How do they all know their jobs? How do they communicate? And how do they KNOW how to do all of this?!

My work with ARFID is working with the Subconscious Mind.

When I look at my bees, I see a visual representation of the Subconscous Mind. There is something deeper at play.

And of course, I like honey!

Glenn's two dogs Pepper and Loki

Dogs!

A home wouldn’t be complete without pets.

Loki and Pepper are poodle crosses… ‘oodles!

They keep Hanlie and I fit and they love going for walks!

And of course dogs are the personification of unconditional love, which is a quality that should never be in short supply.

Why I do what I do:

Norman Vincent Peale said:

“Change your thoughts and you change your world”.

I help people to understand their mind better, so they can change their thoughts (both consciously and subconsciously).

There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone be free from the prison of old unwanted thoughts and behaviors.
